Bluth Company Trade/Lineup Thread PT 3: Offseason Edition

Well you guys have been making me pissy lately. The past two weeks for me have been studying for the last tests in all 4 of my classes, then studying for finals in all 4 of my classes, playing in the playoffs, dealing with the Bluth Offseason, and dealing with all these other issues in Bluth while studying every second inbetween.

I'm stressed and crabby. You all are going to have to deal with it for another 16 hours until i'm done with this semester.

Since Rick Nash will be out for the next 15 games, the Rangers are shopping Michael Sauer (26, RH-DFD, 82 overall) for a similar top-six winger. I'd prefer to be able to add a smaller piece to get a 6/7 depth defenseman back.

The "other" Richards provides me with a really nice 1-2 punch, and gives me a bit more flexibility with Stepan and Callahan.

Lindberg was really tough to give up. He's a nice piece who should be ready to play bottom-six minutes next year (good attribute distribution). But I couldn't let Staal go without finding a depth replacement.

As I saw it, the deal broke down as Staal + 3rd for Richards, and Lindberg for Scuderi. Fits needs for both of us, and sends an important piece out of conference.

Hard to let a defensive forward like Richards go, but with impending raises due at the end of the season in the top 6 the Kings felt some of that Salary should be shared on the back end. We feel Stoll is very capable of filling the 2nd line role and it gives guys like Loktionov and Pirri their shot as the #3 center.

M. Staal is a going to be a great addition to the Kings defense and will be a force for years to come. Kings gain a much needed LH Defensemen to play along side Doughty. With the addition of M. Staal the Kings had an abundance of veteran Defensemen, so we included Scuderi in the deal and brought back a promising prospect in Lindberg.

Kings look forward to the new additions to the team and with M. Richards and Scuderi the best with the NYR
